What The Flying F People?

Ok, can no one in New Jersey drive?

First off, you are worse at merging than any other place I have ever been, there is a lane for you to get up to speed with the rest of the road for a reason, USE IT! and drive more than 10MPH in it!

Second, What the hell is up with everyone stopping at the end of an on-ramp onto the highway? I can see once in awhile being stuck behind someone who does, but I have witnessed it at least 5 times and i have not even been in the state 24 hours yet!

Third, I just saw 4 accidents in less than 3 miles on Rt 17, and not just fender bender bumps either, 3 of the 4 were real accidents with 3 or more vehicles!

Fourth, Where the hell are the Chinese food restaurants?!?!?

Things, Things, and Things

1- I am so not happy with Dollar Rent a Car right now, I request and get a “non-smoking” car. The thing fucking stinks like a 6 week old ashtray!

2- The lady who was my stewardess last night on the flight from Pitt to St Louis was an absolute wench, she woke me up to tell me to take my half empty soda bottle out of the seat pocket before take off and place it under the seat in front of me because the seat pockets were not designed to hold anything except for magazines. “Wha?!?” Since WHEN?!?

3- and there was something to type here but I have no idea what right now…. brain fart….

When in Houston…

At the hotel in Houston, I was down eating breakfast in the lobby and I heard the girl at the front desk call a room and say “Hi, Mr. So and So, the police wanted to know if you had called a wrecker for your car or if you needed them to call one for you”

then she called another room and said the exact same thing, I was puzzled and figured 2 people got into an accident in the parking lot, stupid idiots, but hey sometimes shit happens, even in a parking lot.

So I finish up my breakfast and go grab my bag and head out to my car to go to the customer site.

And what should my wondering eyes behold… 2 cars in the parking lot…. on cinder blocks… no tires…. with all the lug nuts from the tires sitting on the ground right by where the tires used to be on the cars.

So yeah, i guess it was a real safe area I was staying in, and I am guessing that it what the police were asking about a wrecker for, not because of any accident in the parking lot.

I feel bad for the guys, that just kinda sucks for them, glad it was not my car though…

So Very Nice Out Here

Very nice out here, but it isn’t Boston…

I think the drivers out here are actually worse than in Boston, I know people say Boston is the worst, but LA area has them beat as far as I am concerned, especially when dealing with 6 lanes of traffic!

Now what would a blog spot from me be without a reference to a meal I ate somewhere right?

Well I had dinner tonight in the Hotel Sushi Bar, and it was fabulous! SO much better than the sushi around the Boston Area.

I had….

California Roll(fitting don’t you think?) which was crabmeat and avocado with sticky rice in a seaweed wrap

Maguro which is raw tuna on sticky rice with a spot of wasabi

Hamachi which is raw yellowtail on sticky rice with a spot of wasabi

Sake which is raw salmon on sticky rice with a spot of wasabi

Ebi which is cooked shrimp on sticky rice with a spot of wasabi

Hotate which is scallops in a spicy sauce, baked briefly and then put on top of sticky rice with a seaweed wrap

Albacore Tataki which is albacore tuna, lightly pan seared but raw on the inside on top of cucumber strips, with a sesame dressing

All as very tasty and filling while not being too much food either. I really liked the albacore, it melted in your mouth and was practically falling apart when picking it up with the chop stix, the tuna and yellowtail were great as well, and salmon was so so, just confirmed that I am not a huge fan of Salmon in general.

I am gonna head back there tomorrow to try out some other things, Uni(sea urchin) and Tako(octopus) looked very tasty so they may be on the menu for tomorrow night.
